The second RC build for the FreeBSD 10.4 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv6, i386, ia64, powerpc, powerpc64 and sparc64 architectures are available on most of our FreeBSD mirror sites.

Errata patches for perl have been released for OpenBSD 6.0 and 6.1.
A buffer over-read and heap overflow in perl\'s regexp may result in
a crash or memory leak.
Binary updates for the amd64 and i386 platforms are available via the
syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the respective
errata pages:

BSDNow episode 212 is out and I’m going to link it especially because I’ve been at work instead of posting like normal. Not surprisingly, it talks about the demise of Solaris and about vBSDCon and (links to videos from) BSDCan.

Brandon Werner, will be talking at the SEMIBUG meeting tomorrow night at 7 PM. He programs for a living and is blind, so it should be interesting even just to see his preferred tools.
(Mentioned previously for In Other BSDs but I want to make sure people catch this.)

Not sure why, but there’s been a lot of BSD news the past few weeks. I am OK with that.
FreeBSD package management with Pkg (2/2).
[Semibug] next meeting: BSD accessibility.
I3 instances and NVMe: booya! Or how you can build FreeBSD from the source in under 11 minutes vs. 12+ hours on a desktop. Is there something (Read more...)

NetBSD users and developers,
NetBSD\'s New York build cluster and associated services will be offline
beginning Monday, September 18, 2017, for a period of about two weeks.
This means that, through early October 2017, our daily builds of NetBSD
and pkgsrc will not be available.

BSDNow episode 211 is up – you can guess at least one of the topics, I’m sure. There’s also an interview of FreeBSD Foundation co-ops – which is neat, because I didn’t realize the Foundation had co-ops.

The NetBSD Foundation supports projects that strive to ship the best possible support in developer-oriented software. This is not exclusive to LLVM, but also includes the more traditional GNU toolchain.
Traditionally, developers in distributions like NetBSD merge 3rd party sources upstream once in a while with major release bumps, like switc [...]

I installed a DragonFly snapshot on a Lenovo x220 last night. I went for a EFI install, even though the x220 has a “Legacy” option. When I booted, it looked like this:
It successfully booted, but once it hit the kernel load, it started printing to the top of the screen in that lovely repeating pattern you see.

In addition to the already-mentioned ipfw per-CPU state tracking, Sepherosa Ziehau has added per-CPU state tables to ipfw, and his commit documents the improvement in performance/latency. He’s also added ipfw support to sshlockout(8).
